As many of you know, the last 9 months have been\u2026eventful, to say the least.\u00a0 Back in February, we found out that we were expecting our 3rd child and we all were completely ecstatic!\u00a0 I don\u2019t know who was more excited, us as parents or the boys to have a sibling soon.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quick recap of the last 9 months:\u00a0 Approximately 6 wks into the pregnancy, I started to miscarry.\u00a0 It\u2019s something a woman never hopes to experience but always has that fear that it may happen.\u00a0 I was devastated on the inside but tried so hard to be hopeful and positive on the outside.\u00a0 They say things always happen for a reason and while I know that\u2019s true, I hate those clich\u00e9s.\u00a0 It was at my follow-up ultrasound appointment at my OB\u2019s office (you know, the one that makes sure everything is cleared out and they can tell you when you can start trying again), that I found out that there was a heartbeat.\u00a0 I had just come to terms that there was no baby so you can imagine the shock when the little peanut survived.\u00a0 So while I did miscarry, they said it would have been a twin.\u00a0 Thinking back on it, it\u2019s sad to think that maybe there could have been another blessing with Tyler but we are so blessed and so thankful that he survived.<\/p>\n

Now, at the 18 wk ultrasound, we had another scare.\u00a0 There were a few \u201cred flags\u201d that pointed towards him having Downs Syndrome.\u00a0 But luckily, we decided to have an amniocentesis done and weeks later, it was confirmed that he was healthy.\u00a0 After what we dealt with for the first half of the pregnancy, you can imagine our relief when we heard that!\u00a0 Obviously, we would have loved him no matter what but to know that he was healthy and wouldn\u2019t have that challenge to face was comforting.\u00a0 The only thing that lil\u2019 Tyler will face and conquer is clubbed feet (which, for those of you who aren\u2019t familiar with, is the feet are turned in\u2026or out in some cases) and will have to have casting and possibly a brace after that.\u00a0 If that\u2019s his only challenge in life\u2026all I have to say is \u201cBring It On\u201d.\u00a0 We\u2019ll take it.\u00a0 And I have to say, his feet actually aren’t as bad as the ultrasound tech thought.\u00a0 And it may sound bad, but I adore his feet.\u00a0 I kiss them every chance I get. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So\u2026.the due date was supposed to be October 24th and while I was late with our first two sons, I wasn\u2019t expecting any differently\u2026although I did hope every day that I would go early.\u00a0 Another prayer was answered on October 7th.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 I arrived at Women & Infants at approximately 2:30 in the afternoon and Tyler Jack was welcomed into the world at 5:11pm.\u00a0 He weighed 6 lbs and was 19 inches long.\u00a0 He was absolutely perfect.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s absolutely amazing how one baby can change your life, for the better\u2026if that\u2019s even possible.\u00a0 I could not imagine our lives now without lil\u2019 Tyler.\u00a0 Justin and Zachary have been wonderful and such loving big brothers.\u00a0 They are the proudest I have ever seen.\u00a0 While I cannot wait to see Tyler run around and play with his older brothers when he gets bigger, I want him to stay this size for as long as possible.\u00a0 The long hours during the night, all the feedings and crying, are so worth it and you cherish it even more when you see how quickly they grow.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard not to hold Tyler all day long, to watch him sleep and to look at him, telling him stories when he\u2019s awake and he just looks back at you with wide, wondering eyes.\u00a0 It completely melts my heart and makes me realize how much I love my three boys more and more every day.<\/p>\n

Tyler Jack, welcome to the world.\u00a0 You truly are a fighter.<\/p>\n

You are:<\/p>\n

A Miracle of Life.<\/p>\n

A Miracle of Love. .<\/p>\n

The Miracle of You.<\/p>\n

We love you!<\/p>\n
